Fresh from an epic #DistanceDerby, our focus now switches to Newcastle Jets who will be touching down at Macedonia Park on Saturday (kick-off at 7.30pm, tickets HERE).

Another home game means you’ll need another selection of clutch stats, facts and random historical trivia at your fingertips just in case a random stranger calls your football knowledge into question as you make your way to or from work.

That’s why Match File is here…
